I would think as long as more negative values are scored lower, we will retrieve documents in a sane manner. Scaling negatives to restrict them and then not scaling positive values at all could work. The `_score` wouldn't always be the dot-product exactly, but it allows KNN search to find the most relevant information, even if all of the dot-products are negative when comparing with the query vector. This brings us back to @jmazanec15 suggestion on scaling scores. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
